And I don't think FOI will work either - pity!

Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

The Localism Act 2011 has nothing to do with private parking. It's all to do with how Parishes and other councils divy up the work / costs/ income.

Why do you think it might be relevant?

Just found this on the Ombudsman website

As part of the Localism Act 2011 designated persons were introduced by the Government to improve the chances of complaints about housing being resolved locally and to involve local politicians and local people in resolving local housing issues. When a landlord’s internal complaints procedure is finished tenants of housing associations, local authorities and ALMO’s can ask for their complaint to be considered by a designated person. Tenants and designated persons may find it helpful to use our free online training on resolving disputes.

We may not win by protesting, but if we don’t protest we will lose.
If we stand up to them, there is always a chance we will win.

You do realise that all government promises are not binding but only aspirations unlike contract law. So given they aspire to have a system, what is it. Perhaps this is what you are looking for, and perhaps you want to test it. Note the caveats.

The Housing Ombudsman and designated persons Early and local resolution is the best possible outcome to a complaint. We will encourage positive relationships between landlords and tenants and the designated persons to achieve this. We will also provide information and advice to support designated persons in improving the methods and approaches they might use to resolve a dispute. Whilst we will not comment on designated persons!!!8217; decisions we will feedback on referrals from designated persons to improve complaints handling at all levels.

Although we can advise designated persons on good practice in complaint handling, the Ombudsman has no jurisdiction over designated persons and has no authority to regulate or produce guidance for their selection, activity or conduct.

The Ombudsman is required to maintain a register of recognised Tenant Panels (if you would like to register a Tenant Panel please email the details to [email protected]). However, we do not oversee the involvement of panels or any other designated person in the local resolution

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.

MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySuperMarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code.
